ℹ️ Team News: Crystal Palace

We are thinking that The Eagles could line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation this time and select Dean Henderson, Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix, Jaydee Canvot, Daniel Munoz, Adam Wharton, Daichi Kamada, Tyrick Mitchell, Brennan Johnson, Ismaila Sarr and J. Strand Larsen.

🗞️ Team News: Everton

It’s our belief that The Toffees might make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Jordan Pickford, Jake O'Brien, James Tarkowski, Michael Keane, Vitaliy Mykolenko, Tim Iroegbunam, James Garner, Merlin Roehl, K. Dewsbury-Hall, Iliman Ndiaye and Beto.

✨ Prediction

It seems to us that Everton and Crystal Palace could well cancel each other out, with goals at a real premium.

Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a game with minimal goal-scoring opportunities. That is why we are leaning toward a very competitive game with a 0-0 draw at the end of this one.
